You are and will be, as the cost of hardware in "smart" devices (and the reason that non-smart TV's no longer exist) are subsidized with on-device advertising and massive data collection/reselling.
Yeah. Part of me wonders how much of a premium that making a TV dumb would be and if there is a large enough market that would buy into it.
They already exist. You just have to look for "signage displays" or "commercial TV's", they come with all the smart crap stripped out.
Iiyama screens are some of the best commercial screens. Unfortunately commercial screens usually lack the plug in and play features on domestic tellys, which can be a right faff
Plug and play features like....
Plug an HDMI cable in and watch?
I'd imagine they mean features like HDMI CEC, input-based picture mode memory/adjustment, support for high-quality audio (like Atmos), etc.
Not quite; using USB storage, which people do, remembering last input, little things like that which you take for granted on a consumer telly but isn’t easy to use on these commercial screens
